Accounting/Payroll

Pika Hotels operates with a centralized accounting office to maximize efficiency and reduce operating costs for each property. The Accounting Department is responsible for generating the monthly financial statements. Each property maintains its own general ledger and set of bank accounts. The payables are authorized at the property and forwarded to the Pika Hotels office for payment, allowing the advantages of a decentralized system from the approval standpoint, but maintaining centralized control from an internal control standpoint. Pika processes payroll on a biweekly basis for all properties and also files all mandatory payroll tax returns and generates W-2’s. The Accounting Department is also responsible for the filing and payment of state and local sales taxes. Pika operates with the accrual basis of accounting, providing our managers and operations personnel with a timely and accurate financial statement to help them to be more effective managers with current and up-to-date information. Pika Hotels centralized accounting system is more efficient and allows us operate with fewer accounting personnel on property saving payroll costs.

Pika Hotels can manage your property profitably and head-ache free.
